Temporary Sojourner: South African Stories

A tapestry of suffering, joy, transcendence...a journey of guilt and hope... In these remarkable short stories by native South African Tony Eprile, men and women play out dramas that echo the tumultuous din of their homeland. With a particular emphasis on exiles - whether expatriates or those people alienated in their own country - these stories examine a nation breaking apart along the fault lines of race, belief, and circumstance. With this collection, Mr. Eprile emerges as a brilliant compassionate chronicler of one of the most troubled and troubling landscapes of our world.
